The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements and their implications based on the laws of motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The statement mentions that a cloth covers a table with dishes on it, and the cloth can be pulled out without dislodging the dishes. This implies that the dishes remain at rest even when the cloth is pulled. 2. **Applying Newton's First Law**: - According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. In this scenario, when the cloth is pulled, the dishes do not experience any significant horizontal force that would cause them to move. Therefore, they remain in their position on the table. 3. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: - Since the dishes do not move when the cloth is pulled, we conclude that Statement 1 is true. The dishes remain at rest due to the absence of an external force acting on them. 4. **Understanding Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is a fundamental principle of Newton's Third Law of Motion. 5. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - While Statement 2 is true, it does not directly explain why the dishes remain undisturbed when the cloth is pulled. The action of pulling the cloth does create a reaction force, but this reaction does not affect the dishes because they are not in contact with the cloth in a way that would transfer the force to them. 6. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: - Statement 2 is true, but it is not the reason for the truth of Statement 1. Therefore, while both statements are true, they are not causally related. 7. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer is that Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, but Statement 2 is not the reason for Statement 1. Thus, the answer is option B.
